The election of George Bush as president in 1988 signaled a continuance of Republican party control of the White House, a conservative approach to political issues, and the perpetuation of divided party government. Ronald Reagan had confronted a split or hostile party Congress throughout his presidency. No two consecutively elected presidents had faced such an obstacle. However, there was little reason to believe that George Bush would be constrained by the legislative process. As a former diplomat, national party chief, and head of the intelligence community, he had been well-versed in the tactics of negotiation and compromise; as the incumbent vice president, he had numerous allies in Congress to rely on. So, George Bush entered the presidency with the promise of resolving problems in social and economic affairs, together with the maturity to tackle foreign policy crises. But it soon became apparent that the Bush White House would have to play both offense and defense and utilize all the tools of the presidential office. President Bush employed the veto adeptly, suffering an override on only one public bill he negated—the last one, the Cable Act of 1992. This objective of this study is to present a case study of the passage of the aforementioned law within the context of the president‟s veto power. To accomplish that purpose, we will probe President Bush‟s approach to Congress, analyze the administration‟s overall veto strategy, examine President Bush‟s use of regular vetoes of public bills, delineate the background of cable television regulation, present the debate over the Cable Act of 1992 and trace the process by which the act was passed, vetoed, and overridden, compare President Bush‟s veto record to that of other chief executives, and evaluate the record of America‟s forty-first president.
